Abstract
This study explores and compares the professional ethics of teachers in government and private schools. A sample of 400 teachers, equally divided between the two sectors, was assessed using various dimensions of professional ethics, including honesty and sincerity, transparency and confidentiality, respect towards students and society, and high-quality teaching. The findings indicate that the majority of teachers in both sectors exhibit moderate levels of professional ethics, with marginal differences observed in mean scores across the dimensions. However, none of these differences were statistically significant, suggesting a remarkable similarity in the ethical standards maintained by teachers across both sectors. The study attributes these similarities to standardized training, shared regulatory frameworks, and professional development opportunities available to teachers in both government and private institutions. The results emphasize the need for uniform policy interventions to further promote and maintain high ethical standards across the educational spectrum. This study contributes valuable insights into the ethical practices of educators and underscores the importance of fostering professionalism to ensure quality education and holistic student development. Future research directions include examining institutional and socio-cultural factors that may influence professional ethics in education.
